Someone being injured is good news beefbeerandbaps? What a kind hearted soul you must be...

@cubancricket
I think you'll find it's his achilles tendon that's to blame... nice try though.

Really disappointing, Hayden is a awesome batsman and just love the way he dominates the bowling. He is defintely a big loss to the aussies and the tour as a whole...

Hayden has an unmatchable aura and his mere presense softens up some bowlers.

We can manage without him.

Shame though, i was looking forward to watching him walk down the track & smack a few 6's in his bullying fashion. ok

The Hayden injury will give the Aussie selectors a chance to see what life will be like without the great man.

Phil Jaques has made a steady start to his Test career, although I feel he is due for a big score. Simon Katich deserves his chance and will need to make the most of it, because if he doesn't, Mike Hussey could well find himself moved up the order and his brother, David slotting into the Aussie middle order.
